after a while during constand HDD-traffic! (looks like some sort of buffer overflow) the red HDD-LED remains constantly on but access to the drive is no longer possible. Others seems to have had the same problem with that pice (of sh..). removing power and applying power again solves the problem, but Windooz does not like such procedures.

The box has the very same problem if connected directly to the PC rather to the WL500gx. Thus seems not to be a problem caused by the ASUS box.

This works perfectly in Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-10. I have partitioned it with:
128 MB FAT32 for the Archos firmware, 128 MB swap (which I never really need), and the rest ext3fs for /opt.

With WL500W-1.9.2.7-d-r1000, the device is only detected the first time. If it is powered off while plugged in, the device won't be detected on that port unless the router is restarted or ehci-hcd is unloaded and loaded again. I have documented the issue at http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/issues/detail?id=76
